The 2017 variant of Galaxy A tablet was previously being called as Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2017. However, the popular tipster, Ronald Quandt has revealed that the rumored tablet is not Galaxy Tab A 8.0, instead of coming with model number Samsung SM-T380 / SM-T385, it will come as Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S.

Previously The SM-T385 is expected to be a revamped A8, but today's news makes it hard to believe that it may be the Galaxy A8.0 (2017). The new Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S name doesn't affect the earlier listings of the rumored tablet, which has already appeared on TENAA, FCC and WiFi Alliance. The listing has appeared as the model number Samsung SM-T380 / SM-T385, which is now said to be Galaxy Tab A2 S, as reported by TheAndroidSoul.

On the camera front, the 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S will allow capturing images with an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. There will be a 5,000mAh battery in the tablet, which will keep the lights on while the tablet should boot Android 7.1 Nougat. There are chances for a higher OS, as nowadays devices are coming from the box with Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab A2 S will be made available in Black and Gold color variants.

According to the previous listings, Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2017 now known as Galaxy Tab A2 S is rumored to be a budget friendly tablet, which will feature the 8.0-inch display with a resolution of 1200 x 800 pixels. The tablet will pack 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage memory. The device will be powered by a Snapdragon 425 clocked at 1.4 GHz, Quad Core Cortex A53 CPU, and Adreno 308 GPU.
